A whatchamacallit perhaps. Not Mopar specific.

by appearance and by name on the device I think this woul be used by the old body repair industry to shape lead during collision repair work.

I think you're right, Tim.

I think I have a box of it in the gararge from the 'old' days. We used to make fishing sinkers out of it in the winter time,,,ALL lead was saved and we melted it down. After having it hard to store I came up with the idea of making scuba diving weights from some. Think I bent a wire to slip over a seat belt and used a old regulator shell for a form ,,,and used them that way(diving) for a while. As the saying goes,,,poor people have poor ways!!!!

Anyway,I have a 'box' of it that I would 'almost' offer to somebody,,,joke,,,was,,, if you could pick it up(as is) you could have it. It would take a mighty power lifter to do it. I maybe 'coulda' years ago,,,not any more. I am afraid it would rip the bones right out of the socket these days,least it would feel that way!!! Unless the box is now rotten on the bottom(wood crate),,,then look out fer ya toes!!! Think there is a few roof flashings, non melted, we could always add to it if its not heavy enough!! d : ~ )

looks familiar....

It's a Kwick Kut tire re-grooving tool. You can simply cut some new tread into your old carcass. Link to the ad: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=012&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=220089643735&rd=1,1

imagine that..I have actually seen tires regrooved ...did not cross my mind that this was the tool..I think these are still pretty much in demand with some circle track racers...
